Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm trying to figure which side (home or away) to buy tix for. I know we should be the visitors (according to being listed 2nd), but ticketmaster had seats on that side listed as "Big East side."
Just wanted to be sure which side people were buying tix for. Thanks. 12/4/2011 11:39:29 PM

Our side is the North side.

I think it's funny that they changed the pic on the individual tickets page to us vs USF from a pic of UNC and Butch. Also they have us and USF in the record book with 7 punts each, but don't have our game as listed for the fewest combined points. We are listed as the record holder for fewest points, winning team. 12/4/2011 11:51:29 PM

I live in Louisville, their fans are the worst. They are as bad as UMD fans with UK being comparable to unc. Their football team isn't very good. They lost, at home to a shitty UNC team. Not going to read too much into the win at WVU, after all we did beat Clemson, who looked like pros vs. the Hokies.
They have a mobile QB, but he can't throw for shit. Their running backs aren't very great....i don't know how they got 7 wins... 12/5/2011 12:00:00 AM

Counter argument to the post from IC is that the bowl game reaches 73,000+ when West Virginia is in the bowl game. Doesn't have anything to do with UNC.
UVA-WVU 73,535 WVU-UNC 73,712 Pitt-UNC 50,389 BC-UNC ?????
State-USF 57,937

So the North side is the visitor side??? I'm in 514 and friends bought tickets in 515. I made sure to select "ACC SIDE" when I searched the tickets. I'm confused. ![](images/frown.gif) 12/5/2011 12:02:38 AM

They've got a good defense ... allowing just 19 points a game. Their offense looked like shit against a pretty good UNC defense, but you can tell their QB has all kinds of potential (just a true freshman IIRC) 12/5/2011 12:15:51 AM

That game was at UNC...and it was 0-0 at halftime.
They have a pretty good defense. We need to not turn the ball over and we'll be fine. 12/5/2011 8:14:33 AM
